Paper Summary:
The paper analyzes the Oscar-winning film American Beauty (1999), which presents a complex vision of gender relations in contemporary American suburbia. Through a critical evaluation of the film with reference to scholarly work on the geography of gender, this paper demonstrates the radical degree to which American Beauty visualizes feminine confinement and control, while showing pathological feminine power in suburban space. The paper further analyzes how the perception of confinement may seem unusual in a film such as American Beauty whose cinematography at various points - such as the opening - emphasize the wide expanses of suburban life.From the Paper:
